All honor and glory to God! I pray that yall had a wonderful weekend, and that you enjoy the rest of this week, sending praise God's way. Please keep Scuqaine (sa-qwaine) and Rahmaan (rock-mon) in prayer, as they recently suffered the loss of their father. Continue to keep one another in prayer, thanking God for the victory, and refraining from claiming defeat from the enemy; ALWAYS pray for your desired result, NOT the unfavorable outcome. Do NOT lose sight of God in the midst of adversity, God Bless!

Passage James 3:5-8 (NLT):
"In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself. People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison."
On Friday, we were encouraged to STOP and THINK, BEFORE we speak or react. We learned that if we can control the small yet powerful component, that being our tongue, then complete self-control will flow easily. Proverbs 12:23 warns, "The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth. The wise don’t make a show of their knowledge, but fools broadcast their foolishness." Aside from dishonesty, there is something to be said about a boastful person. A genuine individual, a caring individual, and a true Christian is visibly evident WITHOUT having to go that extra mile to broadcast their good works. If you feel the need to advertise your good deeds, then perhaps you have ulterior intentions; perhaps your efforts are in vain, as your intent is to receive praise and recognition for being the way the Bible encourages us to be. But if that is a natural characteristic, then our wisdom would influence us to be meek about our deeds, and to work giving all honor and glory to God, NOT self. Your actions and reactions speak for themselves, no point in changing it up when you feel the spotlight is on you, because eventually, your cover will be blown. Be consistent; if you claim to be a Christian, then your actions should reflect Christ-like behavior even when you feel no one is looking (God help me). The reality is however, someone is always looking - GOD!
Prayer of the Day:
Father God we praise you for your grace and mercy, your love and continued protection. Lord we thank you for providing Scuqaine, Rahmaan, and other grieving family and friends with comfort and strength in their time of bereavement. Lord God we thank you for the capabilities and authority in our words to speak life and favorable outcomes into every situation. We thank you for the development of meek qualities, that we may practice prudence at all times. We thank you for your spiritual guidance that leads us down a path of righteousness; thanking you that everything that we think, do, and say, may mimic your Son Christ Jesus, and be honorable, and acceptable to you. This is our affirmation of Faith, we present this claim to you, and thank you now for the victory, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
